Cyclone_Baroness

Oooo. A Rugby anime by Mad House and Haikyuu! Fall is off to a good start.

Brainyz

Shouldn't we revive this thread since now we have much more information about the anime airing in the Fall season?

I'll start with myself,
Maybe:
Drifters, Sangatsu no lion, and Fune wo amu.

Watching:
Haikyuu and Tiger Mask W

Also, I might follow people suggestions if I'm missing out on something good.

BananaBoatJim

This season is quiet for me; not a lot has caught my interest this season, which is fine because I fell far behind in my spring and summer (and some winter) shows.

Tv Shows
Watching
1. Bungou Stray Dogs Season 2

Interested/Haven't Finished 1st Season
1. BBK/BRNK: Giants of the Star
2. Mobile Suit Gundam: IBO 2nd Season
3. All Out!!
4. Occultic;Nine

Films
1. Digimon tri 3

Not much this season, but maybe, after we're a couple episodes in to the Fall season, someone will recommend a show to watch.

Cyclone_Baroness

Haikyuu!! All Out! Nankaba and Stray Dogs are probably all I'll be looking forward to watching.
.

Furisu

Haikyuu, Bungou Stray Dogs, Occultic;Nine, Nanbaka, Trickster, Tiger Mask and Digimon Universe Appli Monsters. Quite a lot of anime that interest me this season.

Enzeru

Either the quality of anime has rapidly decreased over the past years or my taste has become extremely specific when it comes to picking shows; probably a mix of both.

That being said, I'm only looking at 3 (potential) shows this autumn

Haikyuu: must-watch
Ajin 2nd season: I started reading the manga when the anime ended which would usually mean there's no need to bother with the adaption. But since there's a few scenes I want to see animated, I might give it a go
3-gatsu no lion: Critically acclaimed work which won the Taishou award back in 2011. SHAFT being the producing studio might be a bit of a turn-off as they tend to go overboard but we'll see

Kizuchan

Absolutely nothing interests me here.

I guess I could try Classicaloid and Drifters - one because of the crazy premise, the other because of the Hellsing author, but eh, this season doesn't seem to have anything for me.

Doffy

What a petty, Youjo Senki isn't in this season.

Wagomu

The summer season is wrapping up, so here's another one of those list dealies about stuff in the fall:

[hide][/hide]

What shows are you guys looking forward to?

I'm also gonna start pinning these threads by relevance if nobody minds.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

The standouts for me so far are:

Yuri!!! on Ice: I'm not usually one for sports, but I think it's gonna be worth checking out as the third series from Sayo Yamamoto, who previously did the 2012 Lupin III: Fujiko series, and Michiko to Hatchin. The animation/art looks pretty slick, and I'm gonna be keeping my eye on it.

Tiger Mask W: Only checking this because wrestlers. Apparently this is based on an old manga series that's gotten a bunch of different adaptations before? I'm sort of going into this blind, and looking for fun.

Gakuen Handsome: I am incredibly excited for this with no good reason. I've always wanted to play the VN, but it was a hassle to attempt. I just hope they can do justice to everything I know about the game.

I should probably look more into the others, but I'm interested in what everyone else will be paying attention to. There's not much I immediately recognize and must see (besides Gakuen Handsome), but I'm hoping there's a bunch I'm missing.

Cyclone_Baroness

Omg there's so many this season that I want to see.

Will try:
Bloodivores
Gakuen Handsome
All Out
Nanbaka
Digimon Universe
Yuri on Ice
Festival of Dreams

Will to watch:
Haikyuu
Stray Dogs
Black Clover
Slew of Kororo no Basketball

Wagomu

@Cyclone_Baroness:

Will try:
Gakuen Handsome

[hide][/hide]

fana

For sure : Haikyuu S3, Gundam IBO S2, BSD S2, All Out, Drifters, Bubuki S2, Ajin S2, Nanbaka,
Will try : Trickster, Occultic;Nine, Yuri on Ice, Bloodivores
Maybe : 3-gatsu no Lion, Tiger Mask, To be Hero, Soul Buster, Gakuen Handsome, Time Bokan, Long Riders, Luger Code, Shakunetsu

To continue : Days, Saiki

Cyclone_Baroness

Oh I didn't even see Gundam IBO on there. Didn't realize it would get a second season.

Robby

I'm still waiting for Arslan to finish its second season, but a new episode hasn't been subbed in weeks.

fana

It's already over (only 8 episodes this season).

Black Leg

3 gatsu no lion and Hibike Euphonium season 2 are what I'm looking forward to most, and I'm super ready for some more Gundam IBO. But what I think will be the real dark horse for me this season is Keijo!!! I've only heard great things about the manga, a super dumb premise and sport that is taken really seriously. I'm ready for for a ton of good sports shows to wash the taste of Days out of my mouth

Robby

@fana:

It's already over (only 8 episodes this season).

…Seriously? But... they didn't resolve anything!

Is it getting a season 3?

Silverblade

I was watching 7 series in winter, 4 in spring, 3 in summer, and probably won't go over 2 in fall. There is something sad about that. Nonetheless the winter season made 2016 the best year since what, 2012.

@Robby:

…Seriously? But... they didn't resolve anything!

Is it getting a season 3?

The new anime adapts the new manga adaptation of the novels drawn by Arakawa and it is already behind the anime. Additionaly, next volume of the novel series was announced to be the final one, but it will take from one to six years to be finished if we go by Tanaka's record. All that considered, nothing certain for now.

Kizuchan

People seemed to say good things about it, so I ended up watching Izetta: The Last Witch just out of curiousity and the first episode was pretty good! The only fear I have is that it's written by Guilty Crown guy and not Kabaneri Of The Iron Fortress guy, but the actual main Guilty Crown guy. If it's gonna be a trainwreck, I hope it'll be a really entertaining one, at least. But the first episode was pretty good.

MajinArekkusu

Guilty Crown started very promising and turned to utter shit, so I have the same concerns for Izetta.

Wagomu

I decided to watch the first ep of Nanbaka. It is really stupid, but somewhat amusing. It's like watching bishie muppet babies in prison or something. I don't think it will hold my attention for the season, but I might stick for a few eps.

Furisu

I watched the first Trickster episode and it reminded me too much of Bungou Stray Dogs. A boy who isn't able to control his powers and gets taken in by a detective agency? Nearly the same premise as Bungou Stray Dogs. The only difference seems to be that the MC is the one who wants to kill himself and not the person who takes him in. I will give it a few more episodes but I think I only need one detective agency show this season.

Cyclone_Baroness

That is the weirdest description…lol.

Wagomu

First episode of Yuri!!! on Ice aired today. It's not really what I expected, and I think a little hyperactive for its own good, but it's pretty cute and has some great animation in some parts.

Dom64

So far, Yuri on Ice is my favorite of the season. This animation is spot on and the characters are likable. I hope it's gonna do well, not only because I find it highly deserving of success so far, also because nerds crying over how it isn't a yuri series but instead something that appeals to an audience they're not a part of will satiate my need for salt forever.

Yes, some are irrationally mad about it.

Aside from that, only non-sequels I find worthwhile are Izetta and that Not Madoka show… and both have them have considerable chances of crapping the bed.

Wagomu

@Dom64:

[…] also because nerds crying over how it isn't a yuri series but instead something that appeals to an audience they're not a part of will satiate my need for salt forever.

Yes, some are irrationally mad about it.

I'm hoping they watched long enough to get a facefull of beefy Victor butt to cry in.

MajinArekkusu

Sayo Yamamoto did Woman called fujiko mine and michiko to hatchin, so I expect yuri on ice to be quality work as well, even if I dont end up liking the shows premise. Still definitely need to check it out though.

Ruin

I'm echoing Wagomu on Yuri!!! On Ice. I expected something a more somber and moody and get all this energy. I still liked it a lot though.

It's definitely not what I expect at all. the main character is still a cutie and Victor is just so damn handsome, though. Love this shit.

Dom64

Flip Flappers is definitely worth a watch. It's somewhat trippy and psychedelic and ways that remind me of FLCL. There doesn't seem to be much of a story so far, but the visuals make it a good experience. Also, I think it has my favorite ED of the year. And that includes Jojo.

Wagomu

I thought Flip Flappers was kind of confusing and unfun. It feels like it isn't really invested in itself, if that makes sense.

I also watched To Be Hero, since the description seemed so stupid. In reality… it is stupid, but it had some amusing gags. It's only 11 minutes, too, so it doesn't wear out its welcome. I don't really expect it to go anywhere or do much, though.

I'll be watching Drifters next, since that seems to have received some hype.

Dom64

@Wagomu:

I thought Flip Flappers was kind of confusing and unfun. It feels like it isn't really invested in itself, if that makes sense.

Nah I get what you mean. But the art direction is enough to keep my attention.

Drifters is intriging, but I'm not fully sold on it yet. I do expect to be once more of the cast is introduced however.

Haikyuu should be up in about an hour, so at least we'll have a good sport series if All Out is a ledown.

Keijo eight exclamation marks was as stupid as I expected and I'll probably drop it if the ''boisterous action shonen cliches in dumb titty show'' joke gets old, which is more than likely. I'll probably also drop bloodivores if the second episode doesn't catch me because so far it reeks of mediocrity. I've also already dropped Tiger Mask W, not a wrestling fan so I couldn't get as invested as others I know.

Still looking forward to Classicaloid, sounds like a crazy and fun premise.

Cyber-Robin

Basically ranked all of these in order based from the first episode and what I actually watched so far. Honestly it's not a bad season but everything is just kinda…. ok. I'll do what I normally do and give a season 3 episodes to let itself get going then drop it if it's not holding up.

1. Keijo!
2. Classicaloids
3. To Be Hero
4. Nanbaka
5. Drifters
6. Yuri! On Ice (literally the most misleading title ever)
7. All Out
8. Monster Hunter Stories
9. Show By Rock
Still got a few series to watch but yeah. Nothing entirely bad from this season its just all kinda… okish. This is all personal taste however but hoping a few of these pcik up a little bit more.

MajinArekkusu

@Cyber-Robin:

6. Yuri! On Ice (literally the most misleading title ever)

Perfect way to get people to watch at least the first episode though.^^

Btw Keijo!!!!!!!! is the greatest thing since sliced bread and is here to save anime…lol. Seriously though it is super fun.

Black Leg

So much sport this season, we are truly blessed by the anime Gods. As expected Keijo!!! stands on top.

Wagomu

Drifters first ep was okay, but nothing special. I imagine the fun will start up when we get into the other classic figures brought together.

ClassicaLoid was a lot of fun. Well, mostly just Beethoven was fun. Beethoven alone has bought a few eps for me.

I know nothing about Keijo! but I guess I'll check it out, if you guys are that excited for it.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

Okay, after looking at the description for Keijo! I noped out of there. Nice joke, guys.

Dom64

Classicaloid was a lot of fun! As far as kid shows go it's definitely made with passion and effort, so I'm hooked. Beethoven Sugita might be my #1 reason to watch I admit haha.

Occultic;Nine though…ugh. The first episode was a mess full of info dumps and annoying characters who can't shut up. Saturdays are busy enough this season as it is, so odds are I'll drop it.

Ruin

occultic nine is legitimately one of the worst things I have wasted 20 minutes on and recommend it to literally no one

Cyclone_Baroness

Is anyone going to check out cheating craft?

LaCaSiNa

Awww, Occultic; Nine was on my watch-list but if it's really that bad then I don't think I'm going to bother.

Absolutely!

Haikyuu!! S3
Yuri on ice
Hibike! Euphonium S2
3-gatsu no Lion

Interested!

Drifters
Nanbaka
All Out!!
Fune wo Amu
Girlish Number
Long Riders (yeah I admit that a biking anime interests me purely because of YowaPeda)
Bernard-jou Iwaku
Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume

Wow, I'm gonna get busy.

Enzeru

Here's my tentative list

Haikyuu S3: No-brainer, probably the best sports anime I've watched so far. It's a shame the show's apparently only got 10 episodes but I'd rather that than some unnecessary filler.
All Out!: Have I mentioned that I like sports anime yet? Rugby is a first for me but I can see the potential in this one. It helps tremendously that Madhouse are adapting the manga
3-gatsu no Lion: SHAFT are having fun with this one aren't they? I just hope it doesn't divert attention from the main act, namely a critically acclaimed work I hear is well worth your time
Udon no Kuni: Truth be told, the added fantasy setting rubbed me the wrong way at first. I enjoy my SOL shows to be just that- plain, old slice of life. However, the little tanuki is adorable hence I'm going to stay open-minded here and see where this journey takes me

The only show still missing from this list is Ajin 2nd season. I'm fairly certain it will be a welcome guest to my line-up once I get to watch its translated version…

Wintermute

Definitely watching:

Koneko no Chi - she looks more squishy than fluffy with the CG but it's still Chi
Tiger Mask W - I always wondered why wrestlers are so tough. So they fight bears and climb the highest mountains. Awesome!
Ping Pong Girl - or whatever it's called. Looks ok so far, It seems I've become more immune to moe overload this season
Drifters - as a fan of all of Hirano's works I hope the animation quality stays high
Ajin 2nd season
Gakuen Handsome - looks weird enough for me
Ao Oni - comedy AND horror. Another keeper.
WWWorking!! - first series didn't clicked but this one did for some reason
All Out!! - never saw a rugby anime before
Yuri!!! on Ice - never saw an ice skating anime before. Also the producer of Michiko no Hatchin makes this a must see for me.
Keijo!!!!!!!! - what's with all those exclamation marks recently?
Leftovers Dragon Ball and JoJo. I made it this far in Days so I can't drop it anymore

Further testing:

Shumatsu no Izetta - just want to know what the leader of the fake germans looks like
Nanbaka - what a sparkly prison, I wonder if they stay there all 13 episodes
Brave Witches - just keep me entertained with action
To Be Hero
Watashi ga Motete Dousunda - I'm dropping this after one episode because she gets the tall one with glasses in the end. And no one can tell me otherwise!

Well this list is longer than expected. But so far I'm only really looking forward to Keijo!!! and Yuri!!! Maybe this season just feels ordinary compared to the awesome summer season.

Kizuchan

Nothing really interests me in any way. I'm really not sure with Izetta, either. It's still good in episode 2, but the strange sexualization and the really really and I mean really transparent parallels to WWII with no real point to them kind of put a little bit of a stopper to me enjoying it. If you're gonna use these things make a point through them. Maybe it's just me waiting for it to turn into Guilty Crown any second.

Maybe I'll check out Yuri!!! On Ice eventually.

fana

So far, Cheating Craft is my best surprise of the season. It wasn't even on my list. The warning at the end of the first episode killed me .

Wagomu

Yuri!!! on Ice is filling the big gay void in my heart left by SU's current hiatus.

Cyclone_Baroness

@Wagomu:

Yuri!!! on Ice is filling the big gay void in my heart left by SU's current hiatus.

Yeah it is…Omg. I just finished the first episode. The animation is amazing! I had no idea it was going to be like this.

Wait. What's SU?

Wagomu

@Cyclone_Baroness:

Yeah it is…Omg. I just finished the first episode. The animation is amazing! I had no idea it was going to be like this.

Wait. What's SU?

Steven Universe, aka the best and gayest thing on television.

SunnyBlue

I was pleasantly suprsied by Yuri on ice. It was actually better than I expected for this type of show. The previous one I watched as a similar kind of plot with the MC admiring someone amazing & want to meet them etc. This one was executed much better.
Though the title is kinda misleading, I thought it was about lesbian as first. Lol
Also love the animations & artwork.

CaptainAppleJack

I feel like Fune wo Amu will be the series of this season that nobody watches, but everyone should watch.

I never thought I would be so interested in an anime about dictionaries.

HeartOfDarkness

Yea i was really hyped for The Great Passage few months back, and having seen the episode, i can definitely say that it has the potential to be the best show this season along side 3 Gatsu No Lion.
